DrupalCamp starting in 5... 4... 3... 2... ( → #DrupalCampMX )
Ok, so the day has come: Today begins the much awaited Drupal Camp Mexico City, yay! For those that cannot make it to Mexico City, I understand understood[fn]I cannot find the link to the information, but it might appear later on… /mehopes[/fn] we would have live streaming of at least one of the rooms, but anyway, talks will be recorded, and will be put online later on. As for the talks schedule, here you have it. Yes, today my workmate and I will be giving a simple introduction to having a useful basic Drupal install. Today is the tutorials /...

Nubes públicas, privadas y propias
Hay dos ángulos principales desde los cuales podemos visualizar el uso de la nube: Por un lado, como desarrollador y proveedor de servicios, hablar de la nube nos hace pensar en escalabilidad, paralelización, distribución geográfica en redes de entrega de contenidos (CDNs), y demás aspectos técnicos, estoy seguro que la mayor parte de los textos en este número irán en ese sentido. Sin embargo, la nube es también, y cada vez más, un concepto que manejan los usuarios finales. Nuestros usuarios, incluso los menos tecnófilos, están empleando los servicios en la nube con cada vez mayor frecuencia. De una forma...

Mozilla: So our communitary echobox *does* resound with social issues
I woke up to the news that, after a very short tenure, Brendan Eich steps down as the Mozilla CEO. Why? Because of the community outcry. Because some years ago, Eich pubilcly supported (and donated funds) the ban of any kind of marriages in California that were not between a man and a woman. The world has advanced enormously in this regard in the last years/decades, and so many individuals and organizations opposed and announced they would boycott Mozilla that either him or Mozilla could not stand the pressure anymore. So, of course, it’s sad the person had to resign....

DrupalCamp Mexico City: April 23-25
We are organizing a DrupalCamp in Mexico City! As a Drupal user, I have so far attended two DrupalCamps (one in Guadalajara, Mexico, and one in Guatemala, Guatemala). They are –as Free Software conferences usually are– great, informal settings where many like-minded users and developers meet and exchange all kinds of contacts, information, and have a good time. Torre de Ingeniería This year, I am a (minor) part of the organizing team. DrupalCamp will be held in Torre de Ingeniería, UNAM — Just by Facultad de Ingeniería, where I teach. A modern, beautiful building in Ciudad Universitaria. Talks, tracks So,...

Getting rid of rodents
So a good friend of mine talked about something in the debian-private mailing list. And we should not disclose that something outside such a sensible space without his approval. But Jakub is right. Once the discussion goes over to only messages talking about non-private stuff, the discussion should be moved to a non-private area. After all, we will not hide problems yada yada, right? So, not knowing where in the Debian lists this should go to, it will land on my blog, reformatting mail to make sense in this media: Luca Filipozzi dijo [Wed, Mar 26, 2014 at 03:36:49PM +0000]:...

Trying to get Blender to run in the CuBox-i (armhf): Help debugging Python!
As I posted some weeks ago, I have been playing with my CuBox-i4Pro, a gorgeous little ARM machine by SolidRun, built around an iMX6 system-on-a-chip. My first stabs at using it resulted in my previous post on how to get a base, almost-clean Debian distribution to run (Almost? Yes, the kernel requires some patches not yet accepted upstream, so I’m still running with a patched 3.0.35-8 kernel). After writing this step by step instructions, I followed them and built images ready to dd to a SD card and start running (available at my people.debian.org space. Now, what to do with...

Pushing keyring updates. Let us bury your old 1024D key!
I have just pushed our pseudo-monthly batch of keyring updates to Debian. I am happy to inform you that, while the situation described in Clint Adams’ interesting assessment of the state of the Debian keyring (and the quite constructive conversation that followed) still holds, and we still have way too many weak (1024D) keys in the Debian keyring, we got a noticeable effect as a result of said thread: 20 key upgrade requests in somewhat over a one week period! (mostly from DDs, with two from DMs IIRC). So, for any DD or DM reading this and not following the...

Like a Lord and Lady, with my dearest passions...
For those of you who didn’t yet know it: My mother is a painter. A serious, professional, respected painter. But she sometimes goes to the funny side as well — Of course, with all due professionalism! So, she gave us this great gift: She took one of our pictures from DebConf12 (from the “Conference Dinner” night), and painted it. Real size even! So, next time you come to our house, even if we are not around to greet you, we will be glad to welcome you to the Residence!

CuBox-i4Pro
Somewhere back in August or September, I pre-ordered a CuBox-i — A nicely finished, completely hackable, and reasonably powerful ARM system, nicely packaged and meant to be used to hack on. A sweet deal! There are four models (you can see the different models’ specs here) — I went for the top one, and bought a CuBox-i4Pro. That means, I have a US$130 nice little box, with 4 ARM7 cores, 2GB RAM, WiFi, and… well, all of its basic goodies and features. For some more details, look at the CuBox-i block diagram. I got it delivered by early January, and...
